One of your best international politics videos so far. Amazing maps, graphics and script structure. It's so easy to understand the complexity of the conflict in a few minutes. Congrats, Vox.
US used the kurds as a means to defeat Isis then stopped supporting them once Isis was gone even though that's when the kurds needed their help the most. Seems like a US thing to do...
but why would the usa do this? i understand the usa back then, not aiding france in their wars against britan, even if they did help america win its independence, it was very tiny and was like asking for an alliance. but the us doing this is just a united states thing to do under the obama and trump administration (both, not biased, fight pointless wars in the middle east just cause. i understand this kurdish one against isis, but afganistan and iraq intervention was UNECESSARY.)
Yes,trump decision is just not one day decision ,it was in process for 1year,Kurds say they got Backstabed,I would say it was expected by them,also American help them achieve so much can't help everytime ,it's their problem
Actually trump couldn’t handle the erdoghan for any reason now erdoghan plays for both russia and us the fact is trump because of some economical profit or personal profit he prefer not to think about it
Morgan W Rees you know the Erdoghan wont last long soon turkey gains democracy the hard way like iraq or the easy way the both possibilities kurd will play a roll
It is like that but keep in mind that they started to fight against Turkish soldiers and threatened the Turkish borders after they gained the power from their victories against Isis.
@@thatdude9091 It is democracy but only in theory. Erdogan is trying to change the regime into a sultanate. Trying to act more autocratic more than ever but however the opposition parties are getting stronger among citizens and they are supporting pluralism and democracy. Erdogan is losing his popularity and opposition movement is growing.
[visible confusion] -note, the reason this is not because i think kurdistan shouldn't have independence, it is just because the sentence of "free kurdistan from india" sounds like kurdistan is part of the indian territory,,, sorry if any confusion rises from this,,,,
Dear Kurds. As an American man.. I'm in full support of you. Don't take Trumps words to heart. We have 3 branches of power here. Our congress is on your side. As are men like me, former Iraq vets. You deserve your own nation. Don't let the dictator erdogan push you around. You are great allies. Much love.
I'm Syrian (from the south) we have high hopes that one day all of us will live together peacefully. it breaks my heart to see my country torn apart and I think that our Kurdish brothers and sisters have suffered more than enough even before the crisis. they fought ISIS beside us with honor and I dream of our day of unity where we live different but together.
Don't let liars convince you that the PYD wants to create its own state, they just want to govern themselves while cooperating with the Ba'athist government for mutual benefit, no more domination of Arabs over kurds. And if you can you should tell your friends and family that you think Assad should tell Turkey to stop attacking Afrîn or that he'll shot down their planes.
I AM A KURD CHILD I LIVE IN ROJAVA (QAMSHLO) AND I WANT LIVE MY CHILDHOOD IN PEASE💔.I FEEL THAT I DO NOT HAVE A FUTURE.😧💔 I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY FEELINGS😢 WE WANT OUR RIGHT✌❤
I am kurdish from başûr ,i hate our presidents because they do not help rojava or bakur ,they are too busy stealing money from the Kurdish people and giving them to arabs and stealing the rest for themselves . there are people who are barely living because they do not get their monthly salaries despite working everyday all because they are kurdish .i just hope that you guys get better presidents than us .i hope when kurds from rojava get freedom you guys do not repeat the same mistakes as we did by trusting the barzani and talabai families.they sold kirkuk like it was nothing ,every kurd from my dad's village got kicked out and got replaced with arabs and all the kurdish flags were burnt but they did not care they were too busy stealing money than to ever look at us .
Mr. Wolf Do you want to spread the words inside the Turkey? Because we would like to hear how can you still see YPG/PYD/PKK as a democratic revolutionists. Still has massive terrorist acts in Turkey, still harming and harmed a lots of civilians in Turkey. Turkey can't let anymore show than that, it will see its end.

M S yes in the mainstraim hollywood media they are launched as brave and heros. İn the reality they killed more then 40.000 civilians in turkey and many thousands in syria. And they flee like rabbits when turkey came to syria.

Why did USA need help??? ... The victims of ISIS were mostly Muslims from Syria and Iraq, as well as Christians from Syria and Iraq. In addition, USA was using and arming ISIS to achieve its geopolitical objectives in Syria. Now the USA is using the Kurds to weaken the Syrian government.
lol what did you think? Do you think that US will fight against turkey for kind of terorist group. Kurds did not fight to isis for humanity, or for favor. They are living there and they protect them from isis. Fun fact as you see in video, in the first weekness of the central goverment, kurds tried to establish their country with the help of emperialist US. These YPG(pkk) has been trying to split turkey as turk and kurds for decades. İf turkey will be weak like syria goverment, these terorist ypg will attack to turkey. turkey has to fight with them before this happens.
Thats a bit simplistic. The Kurds took as much advantage of Americas invasion and supply of arms to develop their own army and push for a kurdistan. The loyalty you so speak of was for personal gain. This idea of American betrayal is silly. No one group other than the Kurds have most benefited from the American invasion of Iraq. So if anything the kurds should be eternally grateful for getting this far.
i am proud to be kurdish. not like some other oppressor countries we actually do have a reason to say that we are thankful for being Kurds its nothing to say you're proud of your nationality when you were just were born with it but Kurds did so much through all these years, I am proud of our lion hearts. when the other people let us fall we always pick ourselves back up.
This was what 1000+ years ago. There was no such thing as nationalism, only religion. His army consisted of Kurds, arabs and indegenous people of North Africa. They were beautifully United for religion. People can’t see that nationalism whether Kurd or Arab is the main problem. Everything about true religion which says no tribe is above another. Sad that you cannot appreciate such an incredible man. He will forever be remembered as a Muslim hero.
As a Türk i dont want to fight with you guys. But Turkey cannot be divided, at least it shouldnt. I just want to us existing in peace together. I know Turkey has done some mistakes in the past. I don’t support people like cem erseven. Things he did were unacceptable. And personally I don’t support erdoğan but i have to agree with him this one. I wish we could just live together in peace.
I have a lot of kurdish friends here in Saudi arabia they migrated years ago and now they are full on saudi citizens we had a discussion today about their homeland and struggles and i just can’t understand why the un can recognize their country, they are the biggest minority with no home land they deserve their country shame on turkey iran iraq and Syria
The British distributed our lands and did not support us. And we are still trying to take our lands. The reason for this was to create chaos in the Middle East and unfortunately we were the victims. We have experienced a lot of pain, but thank God we are stronger now. I hope we can take back our other occupied lands. Thank you for understanding us ❤️🇸🇦

The world is not what it used to be. He saw the true face of America and the world right now is giving rising to Turkey. Turkey is right. You are good for peace in Turkey.
Ypg is the dog who guards the oil fields for us. And they get paid for it. There is no oil in northern syria so us pulled back to the oil fields. Us will help ypg only around the oil fields.
I'm very proud of being KURD cuz no army (unless the Kurdish army with only weapons and wemen) in the world that can hold against 4 armies with air forces and tanks.
This mini-documentary leaves out perhaps the most important part of the story, and one that greatly explains the attitudes of both the US and Turkish governments, among others. The Rojavan revolution is heavily influenced by anarchism, or at least by libertarian socialism more broadly. The means of production (etc.) are to a great degree in the hands of workers' councils, neither capitalist nor statist. Along with the secularism and feminism, this is a really extraordinary development in the world, akin to Revolutionary Spain/Catalonia in that country's civil war, The Ukraine Free Territory during the Russian Civil War, the Paris Commune, Chiapas today, and so many more.
Considering the Kurds have put up relatively little resistance against the TFSA and Turkish Army, and Afrin is almost encircled, things arent looking good for the Kurds.
With so few friends of the west in the middle east, it seems unfair to the Kurds to walk away from them now after they fought the tough battles against ISIS. If Rojava were to become a safe and well defined state controlled by Kurds, perhaps the problem of terrorist action inside Turkey would diminish. Diplomacy with the offer of a homeland can be powerful motivation.
i am kurdish in 2024 and rojava is still strong . you had some fals information 1 you sed kurds are 1 mil in sirya but in reality kurds are over 33% of the syrean pop 7.5 mil / you sed the kurds joind with arabs and build the sdf but in reality ypg ypg hat and asays did thate so nato culd support them and thate is how politics work / 3 sdf =ypg ypj have 12 difisons somere around 240k solider and verey good traind notlike the rabel armys or asad regime and there is the HAT(speciel forses) 20k solider better equipped the all rebels and regim solider to gether so ouer hops in making kurdistan are high and thanks for the great viedeo
I literally shed tears after hearing that the U.S. is pulling out of Northern Syria leaving our staunch allies in the fight against IS to fend for themselves against Turkey trying to create their "safe zone". How can they feel like the move is anything but a stab in the back?
Long live Kurdistan, from an American, I don't know why we don't help you guys, I personally support you! May God protect and bless you and your country! 🙌✌🏼💕🙏
Thanks bro but unfortunately your county Russia betrayed kurds many times. Afrin region was under control of Russia-Kurds but Russia gave green light to turkey to slaughter kurds

The Kurds do have oil.

The us shouldn't go and fight turkey, it could lead to another world war
Having a Kurdish State will only lead to more conflicts and less peace

When US needed help the Kurds fought the Isis..now when kurds needed help Us just left them..Merica
"Home of the brave"
Why did USA need help??? ... The victims of ISIS were mostly Muslims from Syria and Iraq, as well as Christians from Syria and Iraq. In addition, USA was using and arming ISIS to achieve its geopolitical objectives in Syria. Now the USA is using the Kurds to weaken the Syrian government.
lol what did you think? Do you think that US will fight against turkey for kind of terorist group. Kurds did not fight to isis for humanity, or for favor. They are living there and they protect them from isis. Fun fact as you see in video, in the first weekness of the central goverment, kurds tried to establish their country with the help of emperialist US. These YPG(pkk) has been trying to split turkey as turk and kurds for decades. İf turkey will be weak like syria goverment, these terorist ypg will attack to turkey. turkey has to fight with them before this happens.
"kurds have no friends, but mountains" - kurdish proverb
Thats a bit simplistic. The Kurds took as much advantage of Americas invasion and supply of arms to develop their own army and push for a kurdistan. The loyalty you so speak of was for personal gain. This idea of American betrayal is silly. No one group other than the Kurds have most benefited from the American invasion of Iraq. So if anything the kurds should be eternally grateful for getting this far.

This was what 1000+ years ago. There was no such thing as nationalism, only religion. His army consisted of Kurds, arabs and indegenous people of North Africa. They were beautifully United for religion. People can’t see that nationalism whether Kurd or Arab is the main problem. Everything about true religion which says no tribe is above another. Sad that you cannot appreciate such an incredible man. He will forever be remembered as a Muslim hero.
As a Türk i dont want to fight with you guys. But Turkey cannot be divided, at least it shouldnt. I just want to us existing in peace together. I know Turkey has done some mistakes in the past. I don’t support people like cem erseven. Things he did were unacceptable. And personally I don’t support erdoğan but i have to agree with him this one. I wish we could just live together in peace.

The British distributed our lands and did not support us. And we are still trying to take our lands. The reason for this was to create chaos in the Middle East and unfortunately we were the victims. We have experienced a lot of pain, but thank God we are stronger now. I hope we can take back our other occupied lands. Thank you for understanding us ❤️🇸🇦

This mini-documentary leaves out perhaps the most important part of the story, and one that greatly explains the attitudes of both the US and Turkish governments, among others. The Rojavan revolution is heavily influenced by anarchism, or at least by libertarian socialism more broadly. The means of production (etc.) are to a great degree in the hands of workers' councils, neither capitalist nor statist. Along with the secularism and feminism, this is a really extraordinary development in the world, akin to Revolutionary Spain/Catalonia in that country's civil war, The Ukraine Free Territory during the Russian Civil War, the Paris Commune, Chiapas today, and so many more.

With so few friends of the west in the middle east, it seems unfair to the Kurds to walk away from them now after they fought the tough battles against ISIS. If Rojava were to become a safe and well defined state controlled by Kurds, perhaps the problem of terrorist action inside Turkey would diminish. Diplomacy with the offer of a homeland can be powerful motivation.
interesting theory. but how is that supposed to work if Erdogan doesn't even want to give his people freedom & democracy?
so you are saying, pkk would stop trying to expand inside turkey if rojava controlled by kurds.. interesting theory
